Follow me
Into the sea
That I am swallowed in

Inside your eyes
Where sadness hides
Is where a love begins

I see you there
Your soul is bare
Don't hide away from me

Let down your tears
Unwrap your fears
I'll hold you while you sleep

Just close your eyes
And realize that I am here for you
Don't pull away
Please just stay
And I will stay here too

They asked me a question
One that sounded so easy
They asked what my Utopia is
But answering this made me queasy

With every pro came a con
It was not simple at all
Of course I could say a world without
War, starvation, poverty, and hate
But what is a life with out a bridge to cross
Without a sad memory or loss
With out a struggle with a victory
Or a smile and a misery?
You see this is why I answered to them
My Utopia is where I am

The way I see it you're all ready gone
I push away so fast
The way I see it I'll be leaving by dawn
This night was our last

I'll be packing my bags and leaving soon
Don't worry you'll find much better
When the clock strikes  at the tip of noon
My eyes will grow a bit wetter

There's no turning back I try to believe
In these words that I say
It's time to go, it's my time to leave
I've been ready to do this all day

The train goes by
I wonder why
I never boarded that train
Maybe love is deeper than
This fear of causing pain

The darkness smelt of death and fallen tears
Blood painted to spell your name on the walls
The stench of the remaining fear pasted here
I stand before fiery waterfalls
The darkness eating away at my being
Spend  eternity lost inside a maze
The graphic things I found myself seeing
I thought was only a meaningless daze
Time grew slower creeping by, I went on
I was lost to fight demons of my past
I had no knowledge, was it dusk or dawn?
The path I follow, a mirror of the last
This enigma I find myself alone
Hell is a sinners last and only home
Tried something with a darker feel to it, but this one isn't my favorite.

I've decided if I can't  be the fairy tale person
I want to be
I might as well be carefree
Dancing with my arms in the air
Run my fingers through my hair
Jamming to Metallica with the music up
The lyrics never giving up
My speakers shaking as it drowns my pain
Hey who said sadness had to be lame?
Might as well make it as good as I can
Midnight pouting, I'm not a fan
I rather dance
Twirl and prance
Rock out on the syllables they sing
Dance with the vibes it brings
Give myself away
To the hearty party sway
Ahhh what a day

Fragments of a child with no fear
A child without a tear
Lay on the ground
Spinning around
Tainted by that man
By that boy
By that girl
Broken people
Stepped on toys
Thrown away
And taken the next day
Silent nights spent in dispair
Waiting for the comfort that's never there
Struggling to keep on
Watching the lights of dawn
Settling for a broken home
Inside myself I'm so alone
Abandoned by the one true person I can trust
The one person keep I must
Me, myself and I
But that person has died
A ghost of a careless being
Drifts off into a dream
So surreal and empty now
It's all gone now
Wrap my arms around cold skin
This time I let the darkness win
Deeper and deeper I feel myself sink
Before the dark I dare to blink
Just another poem about a broken soul
Crying about never being whole
I can taste resentment on my tounge
Why should I care?
Reasons? I can think of none

This scar cut the deepest
As I looked into the mirror
I looked into my soul
And found that I'm even more ruined
As broken then I was before
I'm falling apart at the core
The tears fresh as blood
And your name rolls off my
Tounge
Your absence in my heart
Tore the last bits of me apart
And this time I just want it to end
I just want this comstant pain away
I don't want the evidence bare on my arms
I don't want these memories inside
I just want it all to go away
Let it go away
